Repairing material: Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC)

In spite of a long time of development polymer cement concretes still vary in their material characteristics, as shown in literature. The reasons are the very numerous types of material structures occurring due to polymer admixtures. If the effect of a combined binder action of both, polymer and hardened cement paste, is demanded, a real structure-based definition of the material can be given. This is shown clearly in investigations by scanning electron microscope. In case of a combined binder effect the fundamental differences in the material behavior of plain concrete and PCC can be deviated from the material structure.
